How does this listening comprehension practice work?
Press Play and listen to a whole short story written for HSK 5, read by a native narrator, with the text hidden. Then answer three questions about it, one press each. You see how much you understood and can read the story, tapping any word for its pinyin and meaning.
Can I hear it again?
Yes. Replay it as often as you like before and while you answer. Start on Slow (three quarters of the speed, same pitch), and switch to Normal when you get all three right.
Which level should I pick?
Start one level below your reading level: understanding by ear is harder than reading. Go down a level when you miss most questions, and up when you get them all.
Where are the stories from?
Every story is a whole reading from our Library, written for its HSK level and read by one of two native narrators, a woman’s voice and a man’s. Its three questions are the ones at the end of the reading.
